Well, I was cast out of Sacto And driven out east In my darkest hour, turned to crime I was sentanced to jail Where I was beaten and starved I was murdered time after time after time
Treat a man like a dog And that's what he'll become He'll grovel today But soon his time will come A man can be pushed Made to endure all pain But one day, like a noose He'll reach his breaking strain
An act of defense Or defiance or rage I savagely beat my cellmate So they shackled my legs And through me in a gang To clear an old graveyard And work off my hate
I felt like beast Running hurt, blind, and bleeding Knowing somewhere a cliff is ahead The bossman would watch From the shade of a tree And drive me till I was near dead
The boss licked his chops And said, "Son, learn your place" "Or I'll throw your bones down in the hole." Like a pot boiling over And snuffing out its fire My rage burned as black as a coal
I'm no bossman's dog My back won't stoop far My home's not in heaven I don't run from war They say a man can be pushed But when there's nothing left at stake Sooner or later, he'll break
My eyes filled with blood So I picked up a bone And I cleaved his fat head clean in two He fell into the dust As I spat on his face "Brother, the same goes for you."Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
